Happy THIRTEENTH BIrthday Mikayla!

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS GIRL IS A TEENAGER NOW?  I am kind of having a hard time with that...

 

On top of the snow that made her birthday OH SO MAGICAL, Mikayla was also blessed with a lot of special greetings and shout-outs - these are just the ones I screen-shot from Instagram...

With all the rest of the excitement taking place that day, we didn't get around to having Mikayla open her presents until the evening.  Whitley stepped up to help Mikayla with the difficult chore of unwrapping her gifts...

I think that's a Target Gift Card Whitley is so excited about.  Already, she knows dreams can come true at Target (or wait, maybe it's just that you can get lost in your own little dream there...).  

"What else is in there?"

Mikayla is not much of a "cake-eater" so Peach Kuchen is her dessert of choice.  Again, Whitley was eager to help.  

When I was cleaning up, Whitley was still eager to keep the party going - so I put a candle in a non-cinnamon treat for her (she's allergic to cinnamon) and I'm pretty sure she blew out the candle three or four times....

One thing is for sure, I don't think there's any chance Mikayla was disappointed with how her first teen-age birthday went...snow, family, bowling, more snow, presents, Peach Kuchen, and more snow....oh yeah - that will make this girl very happy!
